Give me a sledgehammer and a concourse car. I'll have it disassembled in about 20 minutes.

Concours cars are the pinnacle of DeLorean ownership. As you can easily drive on the stock NCTs, belts, coolant hoses, clutch fluid, etc without any worry on a true concours car (those who call their car concours without even having the NCTs are simply deluding themselves), there's never any reason to take one all apart

If you're going to insult James Espey, you should at least spell his name correctly.

For what it's worth, I haven't dealt with DMCH much, but several years ago when I called them up a few times I ended up speaking to a guy called Warren. Warren treated me like I was wasting his time asking questions about problems. When I was trying to figure out which parts to order, Warren acted like if I wasn't willing to throw money at a bunch of parts all at once instead of trying to troubleshoot things one by one then I should just not bother and leave him alone. It put a bad taste in my mouth and I didn't call Houston for a while. Then I told people about my experiences and they all basically said "That's impossible. Warren is a great guy, really nice and helpful, and he takes the time to help people with their problems over the phone just like in person." Eventually, I called back and James Espey picked up the phone. He treated me much better than Warren did. James helped me find some parts used instead of NOS since I was on a budget. He helped me find some front Eibach springs even when they were only available as a set with the rears at the time. He was not prejudiced against my car because of its fuel-delivery system. He even said that the cross-reference I found for the blower motor connector was a nice find.

It looks like I am in the minority, but I accept Houston for what it is, warts and all.
